THE REIGN OF KING SAUL, ISRAEL’S FIRST KING, ENDED AS RECORDED IN 1 SAMUEL 12: 1-25. DAVID WAS HIS SUCCESSOR, RECORDED IN 1 SAMUEL 16: 1-23. A TUMULTUOUS RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPED BETWEEN SAUL AND DAVID ENDING UP WITH DAVID BEING A FUGITIVE ON THE RUN FROM SAUL. REF: CHAPTERS 21-31 OF 1 SAMUEL

1 SAMUEL 17: 37 “AND DAVID SAID, THE LORD WHO DELIVERED ME FROM THE PAW OF THE LION AND FROM THE PAW OF THE BEAR, HE WILL DELIVER ME FROM THE HAND OF THIS PHILISTINE.” SAUL SAID TO DAVID, “GO, AND MAY THE LORD BE WITH YOU.”

HEBREWS 10: 23: LET US HOLD FAST THE CONFESSION OF OUR HOPE WITHOUT WAVERING, FOR HE WHO PROMISED IS FAITHFUL.

IF A BELIEVER IS FAITHFUL TO DO HIS PART THERE IS NO QUESTION GOD WILL DO HIS
